    “It would get old fast”? Op, I’m afraid you don’t have good friends. When I was a university student, I was in a shared apartment with two friends. It was great: you always had someone to do stuff with and group activities were much easier to schedule.

    Now that I’m older it would be nice to easily check who’s up for something, spontaneously grill with everyone or simply sit together in the evening and talk.

    My friends group still goes on vacation together from time to time and I love it. If your friends are only enjoyable in small doses… I don’t know… that sounds sad.

    Also with a house of your own, everyone would have enough space to retreat if necessary.

    Besides from the bad gardening that was mentioned by the other posts, I would love to live like this.

    Breaks are unpaid because that was another way to minimize what workers have to be paid.

    Businesses always look for ways to pay their employees less and only change practices when forced.

    Without strong unions and support from politicians things tend to get worse and worse.

    Too bad that we have neither.

    Schools - and some businesses - see getting up early as some kind of achievement, a trait to be proud of. A thought that was mirrored in the influencer scene with the insane ‘grindset’ videos. Get up early and get done more than the others… Completely ignoring that the amount of sleep we need doesn’t change with how early you get up.

    Some people get up early and have no problem with that, but that’s not the case for everyone. In the dawn of time, it was better to have some people who get up early and some who prefer to stay up late: that way the tribe was better protected because the time where everyone was sleeping was minimized.

    Now everyone who biologically tends to be more productive when they can work late and get up late is painted as lazy and forced to work against their inner clock.









  • You have to know what an AI can and can’t do to effectively use AI.

    Finding bugs is on of the worst things to “vibe code”: LLM can’t debug programs (at least as far as I know) and if the repository is bigger than the context window they can’t even get a overview of the whole project. LLMs only can run the program and guess what the error is based on the error messages and user input. They can’t even control most programs.

    I’m not surprised by the results, but it’s hardly a fair assessment of the usefulness of AI.

    Also I would prefer to wait for the LLM and see if it can fix the bug than hunt for bugs myself - hell, I could solve other problems while waiting for the LLM to finish. If it’s successful great, if not I can do it myself.




  • Oh sure. Suppress your feelings. Very healthy. Makes aaaaallll the problems go away. /s

    I think that woman needs therapy. And all the people in her stories too - if they even exist and aren’t just a thinly veiled attempt to get suffering people to work more.

    Burrowing your feelings like that is a fast way to a burn out or worse.

    And don’t forget how one bakery could pay their employees only the bare minimum, cut corners where they can and use the profit to undercut the ‘good’ bakery until the ‘good’ bakery goes bankrupt and the ‘bad’ bakery can simply be a local monopoly and raise prices as they like.
